The rise of Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin should make Deng Chao and Huang Bo "self-endanger"

This Spring Festival file, the rise of middle students.

Zhang Yi took "Crazy" all the way, Shen Teng's "Manjiang Red" became popular at the box office, and Wu Jing's "The Wandering Earth" turned (earned) at the box office.

There are new people rising, and old people falling behind, and the middle-born pattern of internal entertainment is also time to update.

The six top middle school students selected by former netizens: Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang, at that time, the six people here had outstanding results on the big screen.

Unfortunately, in the entertainment industry, which is changing rapidly, many people in it have changed their positions over the years.

Others overtook too fast, while someone still stopped in place, or even regressed significantly, and naturally fell at the end of the line.

Now looking at the six major middle school students, it can be divided into "two super and four flat" pattern. Wu Jing and Shen Teng "two super", their current box office appeal, basically unmatched.

In the top ten box office in Chinese film history, Wu Jing alone accounted for nearly half of the places, and anyone who watched it had to say "terrifying".

"Manjiang Red" starring Shen Teng also squeezed into the top ten this year, and the box office forecast fell at 4.2 billion yuan.

In other words, after this Spring Festival, Wu Jing and Shen Teng will become people with a box office of 30 billion, and the fault has widened the distance from the actors behind.

And Zhang Yi, who also participated in "Manjiang Red", will enter the 20 billion camp at the total box office. In recent years, Zhang Yi, who has sprung up, has blossomed on both sides of his film and television series achievements, and his position in the middle school has to be in the front row.

After that, it was Huang Bo, whose box office results had been stagnant.

Some people's last screen impression of Huang Bo is still stuck on 2019's "Crazy Alien".

In fact, Huang Bo has also filmed a lot of scenes in recent years, but unfortunately the filmed can't be broadcast:

Known as a billion-dollar IP giant "Fengsheng", there has been no news of broadcasting, and his self-directed and self-acted "Xue Dad" has also been shelved for several years after it was completed.

Only a few movies that have been broadcast have not been popular: "Winning the Championship" did not perform well at the box office, and "Mozart in Outer Space" with a rating of 4.3 was a bad film that failed the score.

The box office results for him are still the platter movies "Me and My Motherland" and "Me and My Hometown", and the story platter movie "Embracing You Through the Winter"...

In the past two years, Brother Bo has also bravely entered the field of TV dramas, but unfortunately, the ratings of "The Right Way to Open Life" broadcast during the Spring Festival were opened up by ten times by "Crazy" starring Zhang Yi.

Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo are in a similar situation, and there are no impressive works since the "Tang Detective" series.

In terms of film and television, Wang Baoqiang has only directed and acted in "In the Octagon Cage" in two years.

The shadow of the bad film of the last "Big Trouble" that he directed and starred in has not yet dissipated, and this one really does not dare to make people look forward to too much.

Looking at Wang Baoqiang's masterpieces in the past two years, you will find that it is actually the Spring Festival Gala program, he has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years, and he has participated in 3 programs in a row this year.

This actually proves that Wang Baoqiang's national popularity is still there, but he has never been able to get his works and achievements on the screen, and he can only fall behind in his middle life.

After Wang Baoqiang's box office ranking, it is Deng Chao. According to the vote of netizens, he is also the one who fell the most seriously among the six middle school students.

In this year's Spring Festival competition, Wu Jing and Shen Teng Immortal fought, and there was Deng Chao, the "cannon fodder" floating in the corner where no one cared.

After his self-directed and self-acted "Chinese Table Tennis" experienced a withdrawal, it was released in the New Year file for two days, and it only had a box office of 40 million.

In the end, "Chinese Table Tennis" had to be withdrawn again in disguise and changed to a small-scale screening.

"Chinese Table Tennis" is not bad, and the score of 7.0 is already the highest score in Deng Chao's directorial works. But it can also be seen from this that Deng Chao's box office appeal can no longer be hit.

At the beginning of the year, Deng Chao launched half of the entertainment industry to support the box office:

Even used his own children as a publicity stunt to earn traffic blog topics on hot searches.

You know, usually Deng Chao and Sun Li hide their children well, and half of them do not show their faces.

But the children have twice been in public to promote Deng Chao's films, the last time attending the premiere of his "Galaxy Cram School."

It can be said that Deng Chao has used all the "means" for the sake of box office results, but it is a pity that the audience does not buy his account.

In recent years, Deng Chao's image reputation has fallen again and again. He quit "Run Brother" halfway, but plunged into more variety shows, worked as an idol's mentor in "Creation Camp", and continued to play silly "selling laughter" in "Five Ha".

Deng Chao's identity as an actor was forgotten by the audience, and he seems to have become the least serious one among the six middle school students.

In 2017, Deng Chao's "Scorching Sun" won the crown of Golden Rooster actor, which proves that he is an actor with acting skills.

But five years later, Deng Chao not only did not produce better results, but even kept it in place.

Sooner or later, his position will have to give way to others.

The last person in the six middle school students was Xu Zheng. It's not so much that he fell behind, but that he switched to another track.

Xu Zheng has changed from an actor in front of the stage to a behind-the-scenes producer who supports the new director.

It seems that this year's Spring Festival file does not have Xu Zheng, but the producer behind "Exchange Life" starring Lei Jiayin and Zhang Xiaofei is Xu Zheng.

Since 2016, Xu Zheng has been participating in the youth director support program, and the young directors he supported in 2018 alone handed over 3 works.

In 2021, Xu Zheng, Guo Fan and Wen Muye launched the "Golden Key Venture Capital Plan".

Xu Zheng became popular behind the screen, but gradually disappeared in front of the screen. In the past two years, except for a "Love Myth", Xu Zheng has not starred in any movies.

His identity has changed to investor and producer, so it is obviously inappropriate to call Xu Zheng a "big six middle students" now.

The entertainment industry is very cruel, and no position will be reserved for a person forever. Once upon a time, the most famous "four middle students" in the middle student team were Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun.

Unfortunately, after finding that several of them were "unusable", everyone immediately selected the new six middle school students.

In the same way, 2/3 of the six middle school students have fallen behind, so this title should also be updated.

Is there a replacement for them in the entertainment industry today? Of course, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Zhu Yilong, these middle school students, have made their own efforts in recent years.

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin film and television double repair, Lei Jiayin won the 2022 drama king position with "The World", and Zhang Yi threw down the king bomb of "Crazy" at the beginning of 2023.

In terms of movies, Zhang Yi continued to make efforts, cooperated with Zhang Yimou several times, became the most popular "Mou Boy", and relied on "On the Cliff" to win the Golden Rooster & Hundred Flowers Double Material Actor.

In addition, the big sales of many movies such as "Operation Red Sea" and "Ten Thousand Miles Home" also confirmed Zhang Yi's box office appeal. Today's Zhang Yi can be described as an all-round champion who wants to have a box office and awards with awards.

After Lei Jiayin won the emperor, the resources in the film industry have also gone all the way, and in this New Year file alone, he has two movies released, menacing.

Zhu Yilong transformed from traffic to film actor, and a "Life Event" let everyone see his potential.

The movie that cost 60 million was singled to 1.7 billion at the box office, and at the same time, it won the Golden Rooster actor. Using these as stepping stones to become a middle-class representative, I think he is qualified.

The entertainment industry, film and television industry should be like this, there is competition to have motivation. If you keep stagnating, you have to be ready to be replaced and deflated.

The six major middle school students should indeed be replaced, I don't know if Deng Chao, who has won two consecutive terms, is he ready to give way this time?
